At stake throughout the fictional writings of Marie NDiaye (1967-)
is the issue of the stranger's welcome. NDiaye's fascination with a
spectrum of outsider figures and with the multiple, often subtle
practices which create and sustain social groups as bounded
entities, gives rise to detailed and disquieting portrayals not of
hospitality but of the mechanisms and rituals of repulsion.
Engaging with critical theory on hospitality across the
disciplines, Shirley Jordan's closely argued analysis of NDiaye's
novels, theatre and short stories probes the tropes of
inhospitality around which the writer's work coalesces, exploring
the ethical significance of a corpus in which communities,
environments and spaces are persistently tainted by unwelcoming.
NDiaye is seen to elaborate a fantastic anthropology: one which,
through sustained attentiveness to non-observance of the rules of
hospitality, provides a focus for debate about belonging in a
postcolonial world.
